Drecksarbeit (dirty work)
Drecksarbeit (dirty work)
If we do dirty work (Drecksarbeit) and spread it everywhere, who's gonna collect it? Who cares if someone does dirty work and is not being responsible, leaving it to others to clean up?
Drecksarbeit was a performance from PANAS & Komplizen // sketches for a stair play which took place in front of the Museum Neues Weimar.
Drecksabeit is a German word that means dirty work. The artist wrote this word on several papers and put them in their pocket and spread them on the stairs, and asked other performers to collect them and put them back in her pocket. Seems like nothing ever happened! Like many societies and governments that support other countries, Drecksarbeit!
